Summary/Abstract: When an employee has to choose among various types of intra-organizational mobility, which factors intervene to explain his choice? Our dissertation explores this question. We have focused this work around two research questions: (1) How can we explain why employees choose a type of intra-organizational mobility rather than another? For that purpose, in the context of the theory of expectations, we seek cognitive factors that explain his choice. (2) What is the role played by socio-demographic factors, personal life factors, characteristics relate to career and personality traits factors to explain his choice? This theory assumes that an employee's beliefs about Expectancy, Instrumentality, and Valence provide a model for the proximal antecedents of the intra-organizational mobility intention. In this study, we elaborate a research model enables to explain why employees choose a particular type of intra-organizational mobility.
